Twitter Reacts to Jaya Bachchan Calling for ‘Lynching the Rapists’

Twitter stands divided over the Rajya Sabha MP’s remarks.

The nation has been in a giant uproar since the brutal gang rape and murder of a young doctor in Hyderabad. Social media platforms have been buzzing with hashtags, calling everyone to fight for justice. Samajwadi Party MP and actor Jaya Bachchan’s statement in Rajya Sabha earlier today has fueled the discussion and has received mixed public reactions.

“It may sound a little harsh, but these types of people (the rape accused) need to be brought out in public and lynched,” said Bachchan. She also took a dig at the government and said, “Those who failed to provide security and those who committed the crime should be exposed in public.”
